Dear ANONYMOUS Person,
If you are are and/or have been a beta tester then clearly you should
make sure you download all patches 10 times a day to be of any use to
M$!
Really, not so sure about that.
It is people like you who make M$ products better and beta testers
should not complain so publicly about products
.
Why not? By the way, I am only using the word "complain" because you did.
I would not call it complaining myself. We even have MVPs here that
"complain".
You must know other ways to complain to M$ about its methods and products.
Nope, don't know of any other ways. I have no direct e-mail addresses or
phone numbers.
I am, of course,
assuming that you are enjoying very much devoting your time freely to
ensure M$ remains the premier software supplier on this planet!
Well, that's not exactly why I'm devoting my time.
I really couldn't care less if MS is "premier", if by premier you mean
number one, or the biggest.
They certainly are not number one in terms of safety or service.
So what exactly are you complaining about? If you have a DSL or a
Broadband connection then downloading any files any number of times
should not be a problem.
Ah, there you have hit the crux of the matter.
I do not have DSL or Broadband
Downloading a full Mpas-fe takes about 17min on my modem.
This time would be in addition to the time spent updating my other products.
I give MS quite enough download time on Patch Tuesday.
Are you complaining that Donna Buenaventura is
giving update information well before you are able to?
Nope, first it is not my place to give update information.
Tracker, Engel, and Donna do it quite well.
I have on occasion posted the Delta update links when Engel is unable.
Donna has thanked me for letting her know when the Daily has updated after
her post.
What exactly is your problem?
Well, I would guess first that it is the idea of seeing the Daily being the
way of keeping "uptodate" which I think is your view, and I would guess some
others. If this were the case, which I think it is not, MS needs to come up
with a more efficient way of updating, and for notifying that updates are
available.
As a norm in this group we do not post about programs that update their
definitions on a daily basis [e.g. McAfee Antivirus, SuperAntiSpyware, etc.]
We do post about programs that update their definition less frequently
[Spybot S&D, AdAware, WD "pushed", etc.] because people might not know
they've been updated. This is not really needed if something updates everyday
or several times a day.
When I am at work and have a T1 connection I can download the Daily all day
long and let Donna know if is a higher version than the one she posted. I
can't do that at home. Donna is an important member of COU [Calender of
Updates] where they do in fact post every single update that they find. That
is the purpose of that site.
I'm just not sure I see the purpose of it here.
The Daily will Always be there, it will Always be the most "current".
I just don't see it as real "update" path for the average user.
Does that make sense?
Are you fed up of using WD?
Nope, the more protection the better
you won't get your MVP with attitude like that!
Not looking for a MVP, I am quite happy being a Geek w/o Portfolio
Donna is a MVP because she is doing a very good job without complaining!
Donna is an MVP because she is doing a very good job PERIOD!
I don't know here well enough to know how much she "complains",
Again, I'm using the world complain because you did.
and I love Donna's Avatar.
You seem to be spending more time winging as it seems from afar!
Of course I'm "winging it", I'm a geek w/o portfolio.
If I had a job doing this I'd be really good at it and wouldn't have to wing
it
Why don't you come out of the shadows and share with us?
There's always room for one more familiar face.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend, I'm off to church.

Tim
Geek w/o Portfolio,
or DSL,
